EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink print titled "Dutch Page" by Inigo Jones takes us back to the courtly and preposterous world of Stuart England. The image showcases a midget courtier, dressed in an elaborate costume, mounted on a horseback with chicken feet. It is a surreal and bizarre scene that transports us into the realm of comedy and theatricality. The pageant-like atmosphere is heightened by the presence of other characters, such as a caricatured dwarf riding a hobby horse. The design of this artwork incorporates elements from Renaissance fashion, creating an exotic and fantastical ambiance. With its trompe l'oeil technique, this drawing blurs the lines between reality and illusion. It invites us to question what we see before our eyes, challenging our perception of normalcy. Inigo Jones's mastery shines through in his attention to detail and composition. Every stroke brings life to this whimsical spectacle, capturing both the absurdity and entertainment value of Jacobean masquerades. As we delve into this intriguing piece from The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House, we are transported to another era where sportswomen or sportsmen engaged in equestrian activities were not uncommon sights within courtly entertainments. Bridgeman Images has once again brought forth an extraordinary work that captivates our imagination while shedding light on historical traditions that continue to fascinate art enthusiasts today.
